Kirsteen: Kirsteen Lyons is the child of two artists who fled the city to a Scottish island, to live on a beach. As a child in a craft pottery, Kirsteen planned to rebel, and have central heating when she grew up! Grow up she did, and studied textiles. She did very well at university winning two prestigious competitions and getting a job straight out of uni, it was new product development, so she went from there to other innovation companies and tried all sorts of middle class ideas out, including paying a mortgage, but soon found her parents were correct - they are very overrated ideas. Kirsteen tried selling paintings on line, London markets, starting and running a craft fair, starting a gallery and pottery, and finally returning to textile design to freelance from home, and be mum to a daughter and a son. After designing fashion fabrics for a few years, she has recently made the switch back to interior fabrics and wallpaper and signed with a design studio in Europe. This year she has been creating a drawing everyday, just for the art of it, practice, effective relief from parenting and simply because it makes her happy. She has now fully come to terms with her hippy origins.
